Research Seminars
Center
for Materials Research at Norfolk State University holds a series of
seminars on Friday afternoons. Unless stated otherwise, the seminars
are held at 1:30-2.30 pm in the Conference Room 318, The Marie V.
McDemmond Center for Applied Research. Refreshments will be
served at 1 pm. Speakers are asked to prepare a seminar of around 40 to
45 minutes in length in order to allow adequate time for questions and
discussion. We also have sessions with two short (20 min) talks, where
students present their work.
If you
like to be a speaker or invite someone for the talk, please contact
Natalia Noginova at 823-8047, nnoginova@nsu.edu

Some
Research & Development Activities Related to Innovation
A. D.
Cropper, Ph.D.
During most
of his career A. D. Cropper Ph. D. has
been involved in Research and Development activities related to
Innovation. From his University and
Early Industry Exploratory Research days working on Thin Film Diamond
Coatings
to his role as Technology Development Manager working on novel
applications in
Remote Sensing. Dr. Cropper will share
some of his R&D activities that resulted in innovation within the
industry. In one of his more recent roles
he was responsible
for Electronic and Sensor Products technology development including
relevant
technology transfers, interfacing with government research labs, prime
contractors, and principle investigators.
In this role he worked extensively in the areas of Passive
Hyperspectral
Imaging using Dispersive Spectrometers (DS) and developed various
applications
around National Security. In another
role Dr. Cropper worked on the development of Thin Film Diamond
Coatings for
Optoelectronic Applications. Here he
worked
in conjunction with research partners at Clarkson University to grow
and
characterize low temperature diamond coatings and develop potential
electro-optic and telecommunication applications for coatings. Key areas of interest were in the
integrating of diamond coatings into OLED technology for flexible
substrates, incorporating
the coatings into micro-sensors for space based applications and
growing low
temperature diamond on to Pump Lasers. In
addition worked extensively on investigating non-traditional approaches
to
develop low cost roll-to-roll flexible displays. Dr. Cropper also
worked on the
development of an application market for the Organic Light Emitting
Diodes
(OLED) display panels. Here he and his
team developed value-added
technology for the OLED display panels by producing concept prototypes
and quantified/benchmarked
the technology with Academic institutes to assess and develop new
technologies
for OLED applications
